C4 Ripped Fruit Punch
Cellucor
Overview
C4 Ripped aims to boost energy and performance. It utilizes a blend of ingredients with some scientific backing for enhancing athletic performance. However, most ingredients are included in proprietary blends, making it impossible to assess whether each ingredient is included at an effective dose, and there is a strong likelihood of underdosing, limiting its overall effectiveness. While some users may experience an energy boost due to the caffeine content, overall the product is unlikely to produce substantial performance gains.

The Bad
Potential for side effects due to stimulants
Proprietary blends prevent assessment of individual ingredient dosages
